ProblemSolve the following Equations subject:
$2\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt} + 90\,x = 45$
$\frac{dx}{dt} + 2\frac{dy}{dt} + 240\,y = 0$
Give that $x = y = 0$ at $t = 0$
Show also that $y$ is negative for all values of $t$ and that its minimum value is :
$y\,(min.) = -\,\frac{1}{12}\left(\frac{2}{9} \right)^{\frac{2}{7}}$
WorkingsThe equations may be written as:
Multiply equation (3) by $\displaystyle (2D + 240)$ Equation (4) by D and then subtract.
$\displaystyle \left[(2D + 90)(2D + 240) - D^2 \right]x = (2D + 240)\,45$ Therefore $(D^2 + 220\,D + 7200)x = 3600$ Or $(D + 180)(D + 40)\,x = 3600$ Therefore $x = A\,e^{-180\,t} + B\,e^{-40\,t} + \frac{1}{2}$ But when $t = 0$ $x = 0$ and so $B = (A + 1/2)$
From Equation (3)
$Dy = 45 - (2D + 90)\,x$
$= 45 - (2D + 90)\,\left[A\,e^{-180\,t} - (A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + \frac{1}{2} \right]$ Therefore $Dy = 45 - \left[- 270\,A\,e^{-180\,t} - 10(A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + 45 \right]$ Thus $y = \frac{270}{180}\timesA\,e^{-180\,t} - \frac{10}{40}\;(A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + C$
Putting $y = 0$ when $t = 0$
$0 = -\,\frac{3}{2}A - \frac{1}{4}(A + \frac{1}{2}) + C$ therefore $C = \frac{7}{4}A + \frac{1}{8}$ Thus $A = -\,\frac{1}{14}$ Therefore $C = \frac{7}{4}\,A + \frac{1}{8}$
The Solutions are :
$x = A\,e^{-180\,t} - (A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + \frac{1}{2}$
$y = -\,\frac{3}{2}\,A\,e^{-180\,t} - \frac{1}{4}(A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + \frac{7}{4}A + \frac{1}{8}$
Substitute these values into equation (17)
$-\,180\,A\,e^{-180\,t} + 40(A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + 180\;A\,e^{-180\,t} - 40(A + \frac{1}{2})\,e^{-40\,t} + 240\;\left(\frac{7}{4}\,A + \frac{1}{8} \right) = 0}$ Therefore $\frac{7}{4}\,A + \frac{1}{8} = 0$
Substituting these values into equations (29) and (30), the required solutions are:
$x = -\,\frac{1}{14}\,e^{-180\,t} - \frac{3}{7}\,e^{-40\,t}\,+\;\frac{1}{2}$
$y = \frac{3}{28}\,e^{-180\,t} - \frac{3}{28}\,e^{-40\,t}$
Hence $y$ is negative for all values of $t > 0$
To find the minimum value of $y Dy = 0$
$Dy = \frac{3}{28}\left( -180\,e^{-180\,t} + 40\,e^{-40\,t}\;\right) = 0$ i.e. $e^{180\,t} = \frac{9}{2}$ Or $e^{-20} = \left( \frac{2}{9} \right)^{\frac{1}{7}}$
